Wind Turbine System Integrity Monitoring System (WTIMS)

Fuente: Wipo "Sensorization"
A monitoring system for a wind turbine system, may comprise: thickness sensors and vibration sensors disposed on the monitored system, controller processors coupled to the sensors to receive and geo-tag sensor data, and communication devices for transmitting geo-tagged data. A communication device for receiving the geo-tagged data, and servers to analyze the data from the sensors to determine, e.g., element thickness and/or vibration producing events, and to compare same to standardized exception data therefor; wherein when an exception exists, to generate and communicate an alert therefrom via a display, a human interface device and/or the communication device. Additional sensors such as temperature sensors, strain gages, flow sensors, leak sensors and/or other sensors may also be disposed on the wind turbine system, and data therefrom processed to determine exceptions.
